Why rent a dog cargo bike in Egmond?

Egmond is a paradise for cyclists and dogs. The area offers wide beach access, kilometers of cycle paths through the dunes, and quiet polder roads between the three Egmonds. But not every dog can keep it up for hours alongside the bike. With a dog cargo bike, you solve that in one go:

• Comfort for your dog: a spacious, stable box where your four-legged friend can sit or lie down comfortably.
• SafetyA low entry and an enclosed crate ensure your dog stays calm, even in busy traffic or along the beach.
• RangeThanks to the electric pedal assistance, you can effortlessly cover rides of tens of kilometers, even against the North Holland wind.
• AdventureGo together to places you wouldn't otherwise visit — from St. Adelbert Abbey to the bunkers in the dunes.

The best dog routes from Egmond

With your dog cargo bike, you can head in various directions from Egmond aan Zee. A few of our favorites:

1. Through the dunes to Bergen aan Zee

A beautiful route through the North Holland Dune Reserve. Along the way, you can walk your dog in the designated off-leash areas. Please note that for this area you will need a dune map you need — you can take it with you immediately from us.

2. Along the beach to Castricum

Outside of the high season, dogs are welcome on the beach at Egmond. A lovely ride along the waterline where your dog can run freely in between, and you pedal on in enjoyment.

3. To the Saint Adelbert Abbey in Egmond-Binnen

A quiet route through the polders. Park the cargo bike at the abbey and enjoy the quiet monastery garden and the Benedictushof together.

4. Tour of the Slotkwartier in Egmond aan den Hoef

A short, flat route past the castle ruins and Huys Egmont. Ideal for a morning ride with the dog.

Practical tips for cycling with your dog

• To get used to: let your dog quietly sniff the box for a moment before leaving, so that he knows this is a safe place.
• Water and breaks: bring a water container and plan breaks along the way, especially on warm days.
• Beach: during the high season (1 May – 1 October), restrictions apply to dogs on the beaches of Egmond. Check the rules in advance on the website of VVV Egmond.
• Belt: a short leash inside the box prevents your dog from jumping out when faced with a surprise.
